Here’s my review of the Cinematic Titanic shows over the
weekend. The audience was pull of people I knew like my editor and a few
friends, people I recognized like some
of the dancers from Brew City Burlesque, and a ton of people that seemed
familiar from years and years at Gen Con.

Page XX - Adaptive Tradecraft
Night's Black Agents is an upcoming RPG that pits burned spies against a vampire conspiracy. Burn Notice is one of my favorite TV shows, especially the parts where Michael Weston cobbles together some cool improvised gadget. I combined these two elements for an article in Pelgrane Press' Page XX magazine.

Old School Wrap Up - c2e2 2012
High light: Meeting a ton of people I've known only via Twitter and being able to wisecrack with them without the need for thumbs.
Low light: The free wifi on the floor was hit or miss. My tablet never connected but my Kindle Fire worked just fine.
Best experience: Having Ken Hite say he read an upcoming article I wrote and liked it.
Worst experience: My tablet running out of disk space early on Friday and missing some great costumes, like a drag Skrull Phoenix. And that should be a band name.
Best bargain (had to buy it, no freebies): The 5 for $25 Marvel trades booth seemed pretty tapped out this year, but $5 for 35 on hardcovers was still a pretty good deal.
Best freebie:The DC superhero logo pins are always a hit, even if I re-purpose mine as Hero Points for Mutants and Masterminds.
Best Photo Op: The crew at the Zombies Eat Republicans web comic were taking photos of people and photoshopping them to look like zombies. Or maybe Republicans. Scary either way.
Most welcome surprise: A lot of great discussions at the panels I attended.
Most unwelcome surprise: One of my good friends missing out on Friday due to, and I quote, "puking for the last 12 hours like it was my job."
Best costume: Deadpool wearing a Brony shirt. Because of course he would.
Best costume try: A great Cthulhu, but not as great as the Cthulhu cake.
Most amusing costume: The Beachtrooper, combing stormtrooper armor with bermuda shorts.
Coolest booth: The booth for the Captain America prop auction. Lots of neat things to see there.
Strangest moment: Hanging out with one of my Nerds@Heart colleagues at a nerd dating panel and wondering if people thought I was creepy because I was wearing a wedding ring.
Favorite item available in the Exhibit Hall: The Mustache Monocle.

Atomic Robo trades
